1
By the arivers of Babylon, There we sat down and bwept, When we remembered Zion.
2
Upon the awillows in the midst of it We bhung our harps.
3
For there our captors ademanded of us songs, And bour tormentors mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."
4
How can we sing athe Lord'S song In a foreign land?
5
If I aforget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand forget her skill.
6
May my atongue cling to the roof of my mouth If I do not remember you, If I do not bexalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
7
Remember, O Lord, against the sons of aEdom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze it, raze it bTo its very foundation."
8
O daughter of Babylon, you adevastated one, How blessed will be the one who brepays you With the recompense with which you have repaid us.
9
How blessed will be the one who seizes and adashes your little ones Against the rock.
